About me
Please note - I do have a waiting list in place. You are very welcome to contact me and I will place you on a list to contact when space becomes available.
I’m Jess, a neurodivergent therapist specialising in working with highly sensitive and neurodivergent women
I work particularly with women who have become very skilled at adapting themselves to the people and environments around them.
You might be a deeply caring friend or partner, highly attuned to other people’s emotions, or someone who automatically puts your own needs to one side to keep things comfortable for everyone else.
Perhaps you’ve learnt to mask your needs, emotions or neurodivergent traits. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, worrying about getting things wrong, struggling to know where your needs end and someone else’s begin, or feeling overwhelmed by things that seem to come more easily to other people.
Perhaps there’s a deeper story underneath it ~ childhood or family experiences that shaped how you see yourself, relationships and the world around you.
Perhaps you’ve just not found the right therapist yet?
You may have tried therapy before and found that, although your therapist was supportive, something didn’t quite fit.
When you’re highly sensitive or neurodivergent, it can make a huge difference to work with someone who understands that your brain may process emotions, relationships, sensory experiences and the world around you differently.
You shouldn’t have to spend your therapy sessions explaining why something affects you the way it does.
My approach is relational, neurodivergence-affirming and genuinely human. I want to understand how you experience the world, rather than making assumptions about how you should experience it.
Together, we can explore your history, your relationships, your patterns and your needs and begin to understand what might help you feel more like yourself and aligned moving forwards.
I can support you with:
- Anxiety, overthinking and negative self-talk
- Low self-worth and self-esteem
- People-pleasing and difficulty with boundaries
- Childhood and family trauma
- Attachment and relationship patterns
- Body image and body dysmorphia
- Understanding how your neurodivergence shows up in your life
- Navigating meaningful change and life transitions
I also incorporate somatic approaches, exploring the connection between your mind and body
It truly matters to me, that you feel seen and heard, as you, without the mask you may show other’s.
You don’t need to know exactly what needs to change before you begin. Sometimes therapy is simply the space to get curious, listen to yourself, and discover what comes next. If that feels like where you are, my door is open.
How I work:
Online therapy offers a flexible, accessible way to work together, wherever you are. It can be especially helpful if you have a busy schedule, find it difficult to travel, are often on the move, or maybe you prefer therapy to take place in your own safe space with a warm drink and blanket.
In person therapy - I offer in person therapy in Hove. These slots are weekly meaning you’d have to commit to a specific spot each week
I work on a open ended basis - this simply means you lead the way. Maybe you want 12 sessions only or maybe you're looking for a long term therapist, who can support you going forwards, for as long as you may need. I'm here for all journeys.

I'll make sure to get back with you shortly! Take care for now.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
